- I can’t believe I’m still getting pushback from ex-H and controlling family member. Mute, mute and then block if necessary. FFS I deserve a bit of peace!
- #3GoodThings 1. I’ve revived my current blog, and one of my original readers from the early 2010s has found me again! 2. I’ve now completed 365 days of Irish on Duolingo. Go me 😊 3. I’m safe, warm and dry, and ready for the expected deluge, which has now begun 🌧️

- #3GoodThings 1. An unexpectedly joyful muddy walk in the park 2. A last minute offer of respite for B due to a cancellation 3. More cancellations, but of streaming services, and look what I bought on DVD instead ⬇️
- Reposted by Over ThereAny Irish govt depts, agencies, etc on BlueSky : follow them, like and repost their posts. Show them were here and it’s worth it for other public bodies to follow them from the dark side #speirgorm
- Tony Murray is on newstalk right now talking about the nightmare facing disabled adults when we parents die #Disability #BeforeWeDie
- So the main carer has gone on her holidays and been replaced by *two* others! B is lapping up the attention and currently showing off her toast eating skills 😊 #Disability #ProfoundDisability

- New home care worker is looking shell shocked at the amount that has to be done to help B get up and ready for her day service! #Disability #ProfoundDisability #FeelingStressed

- #3GoodThings 1. I’m feeling a bit better health-wise 2. My snowdrops are out! 3. New ultra compression fleece lined leggings arrived (an Irish brand too). The compression helps with my LC leg issues
- Are you okay, Tesco?

- Who rezoned the floodplains, and who are still approving housing developments in low lying areas that are, or may become, prone to flooding? #ClimateCrisis #fluich #Housing
- I have B dressed in shades of white and pale green to mark the start of spring… not much sign of it out there yet today! #Imbolc #snowdrops

- Reposted by Over ThereAnd once again, a personal appeal if anyone knows a hay supplier in any county around Dublin/Wicklow, I’ve lost mine for the coming months (rain crisis) and only have about a 3,week supply left for a small equine herd 😳
- While B was in respite, I increased my ‘do not disturb’ time to 12 hours… no alerts until 9am. Bliss! I think it’s going to be a permanent thing from now on. Definitely recommend! The mornings are so peaceful now 😊
- Reposted by Over ThereToday's column is more personal than usual and is one of my strongest beliefs: the conversation about mental health has to evolve to the same place as the health system. It can't be about mental wellness if there are staffing and access issues. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/colu...
- Reposted by Over ThereA wonderful thread! Enjoy… #SpeirGorm
- #3GoodThings 1. B is home from respite and is happy out 2. Shafts of sunlight on wet leaves 3. Friday night treat: freshly baked scones and 0° Guinness
